To visit your favorite ice cream shop, you must travel 470 mm west on Main Street and then 930 mm south on Division Street. Suppose you take 44 ss to complete the 470-mm displacement and 73 ss to complete the 930-mm displacement. a) What is the magnitude of your average velocity during this 117-second period of time? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units. b) What is the direction of your average velocity during this 117-second period of time? Express your answer to two significant figures. c) What is your average speed during the trip? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
